Good news:We Ain’t Gonna Miss Him In Week One Game See Why…
In the Detroit Lions’ injury report released on September 4, Gibbs is no longer listed as dealing with an injury. That means he should be healthy and ready to take on the Rams on Sunday, September 8.
Detroit lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs went down with hamstring injury during Detroit lions practice match on August 12.
Fans have been worried that he might not be healthy enough to appear in the team’s season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. Now, the Lions have dropped some positive news about Gibbs going into Week 1.
When you can run like he runs—I mean, this guy can run—then if you don’t touch that speed in practice at least once or twice a day, you set yourself up for something to happen on Sunday,” Campbell said via a transcript from the Lions.
“[If] you’re a guy who runs 22 miles an hour, you better touch it because if the first time you touch it in a game, when someone’s coming after you, running away, that’s where bad things happen. […] So, I think that’s just the trick, is educating him on that, and making him do that so that he doesn’t have a setback. So, we’re on it, he’s doing it, and we like where he’s at.
Gibbs spoke with ESPN on September 3 and said he feels about “98-100 percent” recovered.
“I’m good. I’m straight. I just had a little tweak,” Gibbs said in the interview. “We were running routes, and I ran a go and reached out for the ball and probably overstepped or something.
He added, “I’m hoping we have a pretty good year. I’m just more confident, know the offense more, so it helps a lot with everything that’s involved.
General manager Brad Holmes had earlier in the year of how much Jahmyr Gibbs growing and what he expects him to be in the near future .
